Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup pureed fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup mashed or pureed fresh strawberries for glaze
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1-2 tbsp milk for glaze

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and whole milk to the batter. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just blended. Gently fold in the strawberry puree.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before glazing.
  • For the glaze, whisk together lemon juice, powdered sugar, pureed strawberries, and 1 tablespoon of milk in a bowl. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk to reach a pourable consistency.
  • Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, letting it run down the sides. Allow it to set for 10 minutes before serving. Decorate with sliced fresh strawberries if desired.
